How to Serve

A square cracker with a golden light brown color and slightly rough texture is topped with a thick layer of creamy white cheese mixed with small green herb pieces. On top of the cheese, there are two small tomato pieces—one green and one red—with smooth, juicy textures. A drizzle of yellow olive oil shines over the cheese and cracker, while some coarse salt crystals are scattered on the cracker. The cracker is placed on a surface with a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
